The Oxford Placement Test (OPT), also called the Oxford Online Placement Test (OOPT), is an on demand computer-adaptive test of the English language for non-native speakers of English, reporting at Pre-A1, A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2 levels of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).
The test was developed by Oxford University Press (OUP) to provide institutions with a quick, reliable way to place English language students into the correct level English class.
[1] The Oxford Placement Test is designed to provide a quick, accurate measurement of a test taker's English language ability on the CEFR scale.
Within the Use of English Section, in addition to standard grammar, lexis and listening questions, the test design focuses on meaning beyond the sentence, including implied meaning; the language sampled in the test is an accurate predictor of general language ability.
Results are available immediately and are reported as a CEFR band (Pre-A1 to C2) and as a standardized score (0-120) on the OPT scale.
